Welcome to Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa.
Relaxing rock pools, soothing sulphur pools, cascading pools, and an array of water jets and bubbles - at a range of temperatures.
For the kids (and kids at heart!) we have four hydroslides, including New Zealand’s longest waterslide, Conical Thrill, activity pools and a lazy river.
We're excited to introduce the debut of Violet Vortex and Waiau Winder. These innovative slides have taken the place of our cherished older beige and green slides. Our latest slides feature cutting-edge LED lighting and projection technology, enhancing the thrill factor and crafting a unique adventure!
Entry price includes all outdoor pools and slides.
For those who wish for a taste of luxury - try the private pools, sauna, steam rooms, and the luxurious spa. It's all here in an atmosphere that cannot help but reset the balance in life…

From HANMER SPRINGS - Thermal Pools and Spa Pool Entry
Glad to hear your enjoyed your experience at the Pools Lesley! Thanks for the awesome 5 star review. We look forward to your next visit!
Rachel Garratt from New Zealand wrote on 22 January 2026
Well worth visiting!
My husband and I enjoyed a lovely relaxing 5 hours at the pools in January 2025. Beautiful setting with the trees and plants between the pools and paths. Would be even more gorgeous in winter. Especially enjoyed the slides and the 3 hot sulphur pools with the cold plunge pool beside it. We took water bottles in to refill at the numerous water stations around the pools. A great selection of pools for all ages. Highly recommend.
From HANMER SPRINGS - Thermal Pools and Spa Pool Entry
Thank you so much for your lovely review Rachel. We’re delighted to hear you and your husband enjoyed such a relaxing time at the pools and appreciated the natural setting and variety of experiences on offer. It’s great to know the sulphur pools, cold plunge, and slides were highlights for you. We agree — winter is a particularly special time to visit! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon.

Great day. Well managed pools. Expensive but worth it for peace of mind locker.
From HANMER SPRINGS - Thermal Pools and Spa Pool Entry
Thank you for your feedback Sarah. We’re pleased to hear you had a great day and found the pools well managed. We’re glad the lockers and overall experience gave you peace of mind — that’s exactly what we aim for. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and hope to see you again in the future.

Too many people
Way to many people - couldn’t find anywhere to sit - should definitely monitor how many people are going in. Paid my $3 for a locker but they were all full - Wasn’t keen on sitting in there touching some strangers shoulder. Not for me. Wouldn’t do again.

Disappointed
Wasn't allowed in due to covid-19.

I took 2 US family members to the pool one morning. We were all marvelously relaxed after this, enjoying a hot shower afterwards. A very special way to spend a morning.
